I followed the modaco guide from start to finish and got one of their roms. then i wanted to add apps2sd so used lekky's guide for that. I finished modaco guide and started lekky's half way through when he does the apps2sd bit

I just reflashed today and found another guide for apps2sd in the same r6 thread, page 45...

I found ROM Manager's SD card partitioning didn't work properly and partitioning via a Linux live CD on the PC didn't help either (bafflingly), so the advice on partitioning in Lekky's guide is recommended instead.

Wicked, I'll have a look. Thanks.

Edit> dumb question, but it mentions using a custom recovery image. I assume thats what I am using, although it looks different to the custom one on teh Hero I rooted as it doesnt have a nandroid option.

No is the answer. I'll stick with the generic then. Its alright having these great devs cooking up these roms, but the threads are never self explanatory and the links in them to further info often take you somewhere that doesn't exist.

Get the R6 up and running again, and then install ROM Manager. Connect the phone to the PC and transfer the r3.1 ROM to the card. Now in ROM Manager select that ROM from the card and select the Reboot into Recovery. You can then make the Nandroid backup, then flash the new ROM.

Fantastic, thank you very much. Worked like a charm. Also, I didn't do a wipe so it has retained my settings from r6.

@DanFrance, just in case you are still wondering, the Custom Recovery Image the R6 guide talks about is not simply rooting, its is the "Fake Flash" application they talk about which basically does a similar job to rebooting into recovery via ROM Manager.

Personally, from my experience, i would recommend sticking to Modaco if you have started with them or sticking with Lekky if you started with him, both are brilliant methods of rooting and flashing new roms but switching between the two can sometimes be difficult.

Thanks Zoidy. I just wasn't sure if the push files used in the r6 guide were patching recovery or not. When I modaco'd the hero a while back, the guide i used patched the recovery image, so thought maybe this had.

It aint much really, i'm just a huge cheapskate! I think adfee (which is cheaper than Pro) is like $29.99 for a year or something. But you're right, the Modaco ROM's are brilliant, especially as you say they remove loads of rubbish and replace with some brilliant stuff.
